Notepad is perhaps better known as a code editor than a word processor

How many insane people are using notepad for software development that it's "better known" for that?

I think most everyone who is sane has moved on to coding in MS Word by now. Much better, and you can italicize and bold parts of the code for emphasis.

Case sensitivity in the language is soo last year. Formatting sensitivity is the new hottness!

Maybe they saw somewhere that people use it to format text and assumed that has something to do with programming.
